Tesla Suffers Plummeting Sales
From Proud Democrats:Europe hits back hard against MAGA oligarch Elon Musk for meddling in their politics as Tesla sales plummet dramatically in January by a staggering 45%.
And it gets even better… Musk has enraged many Europeans by supporting Donald Trump and aggressively throwing his support behind Germany’s far-right AFD party. Now, Europeans are responding with their wallets.
Only 9,945 Teslas were sold in Europe in January compared to 18,161 in January of last year while its market shared dropped from 1.8 to 1% — a sure sign that consumers are rejecting Musk’s flagship brand as his fascism grows more overt.
The truly shocking metric is that the drop in sales came even as Europeans bought 37% more battery-electric vehicles in January compared to last year. In other words, people want EVs, they just don’t want Teslas.
Of course, Elon Musk is rich enough that the loss of a few billion dollars in the value of his holding in Tesla is meaningless, but it’s still a good message for Trump supporters everywhere. If you’re a local MAGA businessperson, you’d be ill-advised to advertise your position as a hateful moron with flags, bumper stickers, etc.
As suggested at left, I remain suspicious that many of Trump’s appointments to top government positions are being made for their shock value. The key question seems to be: Who’s a well-known figure whose credentials are so bad that he’s really a sick joke?

At left are a few words from American actress and comedian Wanda Sykes. What an astute point she makes here, and how broadly it applies to our lives as Americans.
A reader comments: Elon Musk has the full support of the American people.
Is this an indication of Trump’s subservience to Putin? Kind of looks that way. It’s disgusting in any case.
These folks’ labor union is a bit cheesed off at the idea.
The reader who sent me this comments, “This is ridiculous!”
IMO, the most amazing thing about Elon Musk is that he has no more respect for the truth than Trump does himself; he makes statements that only a complete fool would believe, and expects to get away with them every single time.
An Eagle star told a news outlet, “We represent a city and a state that is pushing for equal rights, respect and values that respect every human being. We won’t forget what happened and the criticism we received for taking a stand against racism, and we won’t back down from our values of respect, integrity and equality.”
